08-19-14 CrossFit

Warm up:
500m row, 24 walking lunges, 15 sit ups, 15 back extensions, 3 ring rows, 3 ring dips

WOD:
30min AMRAP:
12 walking lunges
15 GHD sit ups (ab mat)
15 hip extensions (back extensions on ab mat)
5 MU (3 ring row + 3 ring dip (green/red/knees) = 1 MU)

5 rds + lunges, sit ups, hip extensions and 2.5 MU

Messed around a bit trying to sub the hip extensions, wound up doing just backs on the ab mat. Ring dips pretty much killed me- the third one on pretty much every set was rough. Definitely need to keep working on building up those triceps.

08-18-14 CrossFit

Warm up:
500m row, 10 pull ups (black/red), 10 ring dips (green/red knees)

WOD:
4 RFT:
Row 500m
Rest 3 min

18:12 min (not including last rest)

Splits:          End of rest:
2:13.7         5:17
2:12.9         10:35
2:14.3         15:53
2:15.2         21:12

Pretty happy that my split times were all significantly lower than the splits last Monday when I did 8RFT with 90 sec rests. Obviously not the same workout, but my fastest split that day was 2:17.4, so definitely some improvement. Since I was on vacation all week, I didn't do much of anything Fri/Sat/Sun except some minor walking at the zoo and a short "mountain" climb on Sunday. Glad to get back into the swing of things!

Warm up:
Jog 1 lap around old stadium track with a bleacher run on the east side. Squatting drills, duck walk, etc.

WOD:
For time:
30 deck squats with 25# plate
60 Supermans
30 step walking lunge with 25# plate held overhead
*5 burpee penalty for resting the plate

9:50 min, 0 burpees

Really thought I would have multiple sets of burpees during the walking lunges, but powered through.

08-13-14 K-State CrossFit

Warm up:
Back and forth across room- jog, high knees, inch worms, some sprints, squats, etc.

WOD:
3 RFT:
Run lap around the block that goes around the old stadium and alumni center (approx 900m), rest 1:1 based on time of previous lap. (Row 900m)

Splits:          Time at end of rest:
4:09.5          8:18
4:14.4          16:51
4:17.4          25:27

21:10min (recorded time at the end of the last active portion, did not include final rest period)

Rowed instead of running as my heel hurt quite a bit just from the running warm up we did the previous day. Overall, not too bad.

08-12-14 K-State CrossFit

Warmup:
Running on ramp- 2 laps jogging, high knees, butt-kicks, defensive slide both ways, high skip, grapevine both ways, sprint up and jog down.  Stretching and then going  through the lifts with PVC.

WOD:
Olympic style lifting- 1RM in 3 attempts
Snatch
Clean and jerk

Snatch:  55#, 65#, 70#
Clean and jerk: 70#, 80#, 90# (failed the jerk), 85#

Wonderful to be back at KSU. Even though we did the stupid ramp, it was good to have some coaching. I really need to work on getting under the snatch rather than getting it as high as I can and pressing it up. On the clean, I was leaning way far forward when I went to the heavier weights. I probably need to try setting up the video camera when I lift next time so I can see what I'm doing and try to fix it. I did better about getting my elbows around fast to avoid hitting my collarbones with the bar. Definitely something to keep in mind when I do cleans.

08-11-14 CrossFit

Warm up:
6 pull ups (red/black), run 200m, walk 300m

WOD:
8 RFT:
Run 400m (Row 500m)
Rest 90 sec

29:32min

Splits:
2:27.3
2:22.3
2:21.6
2:23.6
2:21.8
2:22.3
2:22.7
2:17.4

Tried to run it, but my heel pain was horrible and I gave up after 200m. So did rowing instead, which actually really stretched out my heel quite a bit. Can't believe I had a 10sec difference in my first to my last split, but I really pushed the last one to try for a good time and just be done.

08-10-14 CrossFit

Warm up:
500m row, 10 pull ups (red/black), 2 push ups

WOD:
10 RFT:
15 pushups (10)
100m sprint

22:02min

Did an additional 10 pushups after the final sprint to make up for some of the 50 I didn't do. Did some snaking, but overall I think my pushup form was better. Felt pretty good until the extra 10 pushups- those got a bit worse, but I tried to string several together.

Bruce did the work out with me- he did all 15 pushups each round and walked the 100m- his time was 22:58min.
